Project Fi from Google has been a lifesaver for me while traveling. I get to use the same number everywhere I go and don't have to do the new SIM dance in every country I visit. It can also be very handy sometimes to have internet access minutes after hitting the tarmac. They've also expanded it to support more phones recently. I think having a Fi phone, even if it's not your primary device, makes a lot of sense for…

yeah, that looks great for Americans, I guess. Again, another thing businesses assume about people: they're American ;)

That's technically not two factor if you only need to know a password to get access to the one-time code. It's two passwords, both are something you have to know, there's nothing you need to have or be (sms and biometrics respectively)

Your comment highlights why phone-based 2FA is not a 2FA.
